Students are provided opportunities to:

generate and describe patterns (Stage 2)
use arrays to establish multiplication facts from multiples of 2 and 4, 5 and 10 (Stage 2)
determine products and factors (Stage 3)
use partitioning and place value to multiply 2-, 3- and 4-digit numbers by one-digit numbers (Stage 3)
represent and solve division problems.
